Morocco Adventure

Morocco is world renown for being a destination for culture vultures. With its Arabic lifestyle, French lifestyle, colourful towns, and delicious foods, Morocco makes an ideal destination for everyone. But did you know that Morocco is also an excellent destination for adventure seekers? If you fancy hiking a mountain or riding a camel into the desert, a Morocco adventure is just for you.

If there’s one thing you must do in Morocco, it’s a camel trek into the desert. Ride into the Sahara Desert and Merzouga in style, and get to know the Berbers that call the desert their home. Drive from Marrakech to Fes, through the Atlas Mountains, and stop by world heritage sites like Ait BenHaddou Kasbah, the Cinema in Ouarzazate, and more. Once you reach the desert, treat yourself to some Berber entertainment at sunset: music, drums, and perhaps even a Berber feast. You’ll find the families here welcoming and approachable, and eager to share their culture with you.

You can also visit some Berber villages on foot rather than by camel. Give yourself at least four days to explore the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains. You’ll walk through cool vegetation of juniper and pine trees, traverse deep gorges and gushing river streams, and explore the stunning mountain valleys. The valleys are home to tiny hamlets and villages belonging to the Berbers, who spend their time herding and farming. Visit their homes, and learn their customs. You’ll camp out in a local gite, or in a tent, with millions of stars just beyond your front door. Wrap it all up by visiting Ighouliden Waterfalls and the Tizi Oussem pass.

Morocco Adventure Continued...

For a real challenge, climb Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Having an experienced guide is a must for this Morocco adventure! Start by taking the south cirque route, and cross the stream above the refuge. The hike is challenging in parts, but well worth it. At the top there are unrestricted views from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north, and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara.

To get off the beaten path, visit Dades Gorge. See the Valley of Roses, where a festival is held every year to celebrate the harvest. If you’re lucky enough to be here at this time, you’ll hear traditional Berber music and witness the exceptional handicrafts and rose products. The Dades Gorge is excellent for hiking, and offers panoramic views of the High Atlas mountains and the green valley. Ourika Valley is also worth a visit.

If you’re the kind of person who likes speed, there are plenty of 4WD options in Morocco, whether it’s in Marrakesh, the desert, or Tangier. Pair it all with some cultural attractions, like visiting a Berber family in their home, and you’ve got yourself a perfect Morocco trip.
